Marquetry - Paint by Numbers with Wood Veneer, Part 3
** This is a three-part class series
Wednesdays Evenings, 6:30-9:30pm
Marquetry is the woodworking craft whereby images are created using different colors of wood veneer. The use of marquetry is nearly unlimited, as it can be applied to a wide variety of woodworking projects. One of the very cool parts about marquetry is that while most established woodworking practices allow the designer to speak only in a given style, the use of marquetry allows the finished piece to tell a story.
While marquetry done through traditional means of production is a fairly time-consuming, exacting skill to master, this class will fully embrace the digital age; students will be taught using CAD and the laser cutter. This means that as a craft, it can be picked up and practiced at a very high level of skill with very little practice. Because the laser cutter is front and center in this class, students must be comfortable with using a vector (CAD) program of their choice before they start this class. Pick your weapon: AutoCAD, SketchUp, RevIt, V-Carve, Rhino, Fusion 360, Adobe Illustrator, etc., all are fair game. Come to the first class with an image picked out that you would like to produce in marquetry. A block print-like image (solid tones in blocks of color) works best. Students will be free to manipulate their image however they like.
The first week, we will meet to have an overview of the process and to run some very simple trials/demonstrations of the process. Week two will have the students cutting out their kit of parts on the laser cutter, assembling them, and pressing them to a backer board with a vacuum press. Week three will have the students sanding completed projects and applying a finish to them.
Class will be taught by our Director of Woodshop, David Amundson, a ‘reformed architect’ with 20+ years of experience in teaching the joys of woodworking while making sure that all students’ digits stay attached!
All needed materials for this class will be supplied to students by The Forge.
